LETTER: By normalizing new behaviours, we can not only make where we live more beautiful, but do something satisfying that in a small but meaningful way makes where we live more resilient to a changing climate.

LETTER: Come back with a sensible redevelopment plan and charge for parking like everywhere else in the world. Developers are in the business of making money, not giving away freebies.

LETTER: I just want to give a big shout-out and thanks to all of the Nordic groomers at the Canmore Nordic Centre, Mount Shark and in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park.

LETTER: Canada should shift its environmental policy from imposing high carbon taxes to providing low-cost green energy globally.

LETTER: As a former Banff resident and frequent visitor since 1994, I have continued to follow with interest the Railway Lands area redevelopment plan (ARP) process, most recently council's special meeting for the public hearing on March 20.

LETTER: Actually, most whistles disappeared with the demise of steam locomotives, unless CPKC Rail was running the empress on a special trip. Nowadays, diesel-electric engines use electric horns. Same purpose, different way of doing it.
